As the crisp autumn breeze began to whisper through the trees, I knew it was the perfect time to take my family on an outdoor adventure. There's something magical about this season—its colors are breathtaking, the air carries a gentle coolness, and there's always the promise of finding hidden treasures like conkers or acorns scattered across our path.
For this outing, I decided to prepare some homemade snacks that were both healthy and fun. One of the recipes I tried was inspired by Yeo Valley, known for their delicious yogurt products. Instead of using butter, these biscuits incorporate their Greek yogurt, making them a slightly lighter option. Here's what went into them:
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup of caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1/4 cup of Yeo Valley Greek Yogurt with honey
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- Chocolate chips
I mixed the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry ones in another. Then, I formed a well in the dry mix, poured in the wet ingredients, and gently combined everything until it came together into a dough-like consistency. After chilling it overnight, I shaped the dough into small balls, flattened them slightly with a fork, and baked them at a moderate temperature until they turned golden brown. These biscuits were a hit with everyone—they were soft, subtly sweet, and carried just enough spice from the cinnamon to make them memorable.
To complement our little baking session, we also packed some other essentials for the day: Little Yeos yogurts, fresh fruits, and bottles of water. Each pot of Little Yeos yogurt comes in four fruity flavors—strawberry, raspberry, apricot, and peach—and they’re made with real fruit juice. Priced around £1.75 for a pack of four 120g pots, they're a great value and provide just the right amount of refreshment when you're on the move.
With our snack bags filled and our spirits high, we set off towards the nearby woods. Walking under the towering canopy of trees felt incredibly serene. My kids couldn’t resist climbing onto a fallen log, laughing as they scrambled up its rough surface. It wasn’t long before hunger struck, and we all gathered around to enjoy our snacks. The children particularly adored the Little Yeos yogurts, savoring each bite while marveling at how filling they were despite their size.
By the end of the afternoon, we returned home with a sack brimming with conkers, satisfied stomachs, and hearts full of joy. It was the kind of day where every moment felt simple yet perfect—a true testament to the beauty of family time amidst nature.
